Hymotion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hymotion is a company founded in 2005 in Toronto, Canada that introduced plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) upgrade kits in February 2006.

Designed for the Toyota Prius and the Ford Escape and Mariner Hybrids, these kits were offered to fleet buyers at first and will be available to the general public in 2008.

The 5 kWh kits includes batteries, power electronics, crash sensors, charger, Battery Management System (BMS) and manual-electric interlock. The system does not require removal of the OEM battery pack in the stock vehicle and can be installed in less than 4 hours.

Recently, the South Coast Air Quality Management District awarded Hymotion to convert 10 Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles to PHEVs.
